Only the template definition called can 'see' the Tiles context and access the attributes. In your case the classicLayout.jsp can use the input and result attributes. If the bodyTwoColumns.jsp is to be your layout then changing classicLayout.jsp to have the two columns format would be the best solution. You could also pass the attributes from the template to the input jsps but that becomes difficult to extend or change because you have explicit variables you are creating in your template jsp for other jsps to use.

Additionally, I've defined the following Definition: <definition name=".showOrgEinheit" extends=".mainLayout"> <put name="input" value="/getOrgEinheit.jsp" /> <put name="result" value="/showOrgEinheit.jsp" /> <put name="body" value="/layout/bodyTwoColumns.jsp" /> </definition> The bodyTwoColumns looks like this: <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-tiles.tld" prefix="tiles" %> <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="5"> <tr> <td width="50%" align="left"> <tiles:insert attribute='input'/> </td> <td width="50%" align="left"> <tiles:insert attribute='result' /> </td> </tr> </table> My struts action forwards to the definition .showOrgEinheit but I get the following error: [ServletException in:/layout/bodyTwoColumns.jsp] Error - Tag Insert : No value found for attribute 'input'.' Can anybody help me, please? Thank you a lot.
